Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus for use in anchoring an elongate member to another member and, more particularly, but not necessarily exclusively, to an abutment for use in anchoring a flexible control cable to fixed members of the chassis or bodywork of a vehicle.
  • a "push-pull" cable is a device for translating a push/pull movement at one location to a push/pull movement (in the same or any different direction) at a different location, often for control purposes, and such a cable comprises a flexible conduit in which a control wire is slidable to perform the desired function.
  • a control wire is slidable to perform the desired function.
  • each end of the conduit be anchored, for example to the body of a vehicle.
  • the practice has developed of anchoring an end of the conduit to an opening in a bracket or bulkhead across which the control cable passes.
  • such anchorage is achieved by means of a bracket or similar fixed member, having a generally U-shaped slot therein for receiving an abutment attached to a cable.
  • the abutment is located in the slot of the bracket and fixed therein by some means so as to resist withdrawal of the abutment from the slot and also axial movement of the abutment relative to the slot.
  • Conventional fixing means for this purpose have meant that the abutment must be presented to the bracket from a particular direction and orientation, so that corresponding elements of the fixing means on the abutment and the bracket are precisely located relative to each other.
  • many conventional abutment arrangements tend to have a somewhat complex structure which is relatively difficult and time-consuming to assemble.
  • EP0703395 discloses an anchoring device with the features of the preamble of claim 1 for fixing an elongated member onto a wall containing a longitudinal axis at right angles to the mid-plane of the wall where the wall has two opposite faces and in relation to the mid-plane and a slot in the form of a 'U' which opens out on the side opposite of its base.
  • the extended piece carries a segment which follows the longitudinal axis of the piece and is designed to be radially introduced into the slot. A radial shoulder from the segment butts against the face of the wall and a guide section on this segment follows the longitudinal axis.
  • DE 2261933 discloses an anchoring device for engaging with a slot of a bracket.
  • a sleeve of the anchoring device includes a collar axially movable against a spring and includes pins which engage through holes provided in the bracket.
  • an anchoring device according to claim 1.
  • the leading edge of the collar member substantially fills the gap between the groove and the slot, said gap being created by the difference in their respective diameters.
  • the slot is beneficially U-shaped and includes a narrowed neck portion, beneath which said leading edge of the collar member is engaged when the anchoring device is located within the slot.
  • the leading edge beneficially includes a chamfer.
  • the fixed member may also include at least one chamfer at the open edge thereof, the chamfer of the leading edge of the collar member and the at least one chamfer of the fixed member then preferably being arranged to cooperate with each other such that when the anchoring device is inserted into the slot, the fixed member chamfer operates to push the leading edge of the collar out of the groove and away from the fixed member.
  • the collar member is preferably spring biased in the direction of the fixed member, such that when the anchoring device is fully located within the slot, the leading edge of the collar member automatically extends into the groove.
  • the collar member is then beneficially manually retractable against the spring force to withdraw the leading edge thereof from the groove, and enable the anchoring device to be withdrawn from the slot.
  • the anchoring device may include a load bearing ring surrounding at least a portion of the collar member.
  • the device may further include a spring which is located underneath the collar member and is retained in compression by a cap member.
  • an abutment for anchoring an elongate member for example, the sheath of a flexible cable, also known as a "push-pull" cable
  • the abutment 10 comprises a generally cylindrical body 12 having an axial through-cavity 14 along which a sliding core (not shown) of the push-pull cable is normally disposed.
  • Portion 16a guides the sliding of the inner core cable and an end rod (which prevents buckling of the inner core cable between a fixing point for the outer cable (non-movable) and a fixing point for the inner cable (movable).
  • Portion 16b is intended to fix the outer cable to the body 12.
  • the body 12 comprises a load bearing ring 7 defining two opposed shoulder portions 7a, 7b, the axial distance between which shoulder portions is fixed and defines an engagement portion of the abutment body 12.
  • the abutment further comprises a spring loaded collar 1 having a chamfered end 9 including grooves 6 which allow it pass under the shoulder portion 7a of the load bearing ring 7 and into the engagement portion of abutment body 12.
  • the spring 3 for operating the spring loaded collar 1 is located underneath the collar 1 and is retained in compression by a damper cap 4. As such, the spring force acts axially along the longitudinal axis of the body.
  • the abutment of this exemplary embodiment of the present invention is intended for use in anchoring a flexible cable to a bracket 8 defining a generally U-shaped seat 20.
  • the upper edges of the bracket 8 are provided with a chamfered lead portion 22, the distance between the upper edges being less than the diameter of the seat 20 so as to define a neck 2. Further, the diameter of the engagement portion of the abutment is less than that of the U-shaped seat 20 of the bracket 8.
  • an abutment 10 according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present invention is similar in many respects to that described above, and like features are denoted by the same reference numbers.
  • the direction of the locking mechanism 9 has changed from behind to in front of the bracket. This means that the spring 3 and the sliding collar 1 no longer have to be positioned diametrically over the damper cap 4, the diameter of which cannot be reduced due to strength and the size of the internal components. Because the damper cap 4 can no longer be used to retain the spring 3 in the assembly, a spring retaining clip 100 has been added to perform this function.
  • one of the main advantages of the abutment described above is its ability to be presented to the bracket from any angular orientation - there are no particular elements of the abutment and bracket which need to be matched or lined up.
  • the design achieves automatic firing, i.e. it automatically anchors itself within the bracket when it is fully located therein.
  • the design provides positive location within the bracket, with an audible "click", so that an operative can be certain that the abutment has been correctly and completely located within the bracket.
  • the abutment is easily removable from the bracket, and requires no re-arming before re-fitting.
  • the arrangement also provides a clean external design.
